I'm smiling, too. My son just learned how to ride a bike, and we went out for a delightful ride tonight. I let him lead. Most of my moments of true joy are ones of simple pleasures.
I just came back from a caregiver retreat where a speaker had us all hug each other. We were all strangers and then we actually hugged each other (it was all women) and we felt so happy and close to each other. So I am giving each of you a hug! (even the men) :-)
I am waiting for that happy bicycle moment - my seven-year-old is afraid and whenever we take off the training wheels she just says she hates bike riding (and me) - I am laughing at the memory One day soon I hope. Love to all you other caregivers!
Truffles, my son is now eight; he was just not ready to ride his bike as recently as 6 months ago. Then one day he woke up and decided it was time to ride. And voila!
As much as I try to hurry thing along in my role as a caregiver or mother or gardener, I have come to understand that the time will come.
HI Vicki Yes, everything seems to unfold around us, just as it should. Now if we could only have it unfold a little faster, slower, or differently to satisfy our own desires things would be perfect! :)
